Jorieke, I started a Skype chat with you and a few folks I know are involved in
Bangladesh. Let's get the folks involved there, and get the channel going.

Hi Stace and Eric,
Pete is talking about the same people as I did toyou before. Some of our
Bangladesh mappers are now also on this list... But Iwill sent you a follow up
mail on this. Further I like very much your idea, and would liketo give you
some input. Talking out of my experience; to trace patients,not necessarily all
buildings are needed in the first phase. To track patientsthe main important
this is to be able to locate people. So this meanscollecting locally used
neighbourhood names, locally used street names, and landmarks used by the
people. Buildings are inmy view then a second step. I don't know how big the
area is you're focused on?Maybe you can quickly point it on a Umap for us?
Fingers crossed, for good imagery in the area of interest... Also I was
thinking it might be good to set up anOSM Bangla Skype group to try to
coordinate all the upcoming projects a littlebit. Lastly there was also
interest of Terre des Hommes, the American Red Crossis going to do more things
in spring,... So we can coordinate a bit and shareresources and thoughts on
mapping in the very particular context of Bangladesh.Please let me know if you
are interested in this.
Best greetings,
Jorieke

Hi Stace, I have just come back from Dhaka (literally on Thursday), where we
were working with the local OSM community to map two areas, Kamrangirchar and
Hazaribagh, for the Missing Maps project. We worked with between 10-30
volunteers of varying skills each day for two weeks. They are a smart and
enthusiastic bunch and most said they planned to keep mapping anyway. They all
have experience in using field papers and surveys and Osmand, and most have at
least a days experience using JOSM to edit / upload.I have email addresses and
phone numbers if you want them or you can contact them via the OpenStreetMap
Bangladesh Facebook page.There are also a number of very experienced mappers /
OSM focused GIS people I can put you in touch with directly.Let me know what
you think...Cheers,PeteOn 30 Jan 2015 21:38, "Stacey Maples"

All,
I'm working with a faculty member studying the efficacy of mobile app based
interventions, who needs detailed street and building footprints for his pilot.
He is working in the Kendua sub-district of Bangladesh, initially, and needs
data for health workers to use to identify cholera patients homes/home village,
pharmacies, etc... I've pasted his abstract, below. If he finds efficacy, he
will likely expand the project to other sub-districts. We are wondering several
things:
First, what is the process to have a project added to the Task Manager?
Second, do you happen to currently have mappers in this area who could work on
this?
Finally, we may be able to obtain gps traces from food delivery drivers to
upload to OSM. It would be great to have a training for them if there are
mappers in the area, or in Dhaka who would be willing to travel. Wondering who
to contact about the possibility of that (I know bulk uploads are frowned upon
unless coordinated with OSM).
Thanks in advance for your time, I've pasted the abstract for the project,
below my signature.

Leveraging mobile technology to improve clinical outcomes and scientific
research of the second leading cause of childhood death: diarrheal disease
Abstract
Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children under 5
years of age globally. We are specifically interested in the diarrheal disease
cholera because of the devastating impact the disease has on at-risk
populations and the emerging opportunities to leverage mobile technology to
overcome fundamental clinical, epidemiologic, and scientific challenges.
Despite effective treatments and advances in provider education, cholera case
fatality rates remain unacceptably high. Conventional methods have been unable
to overcome barriers to provide patients timely access to care in resource-poor
settings. This is especially true early in outbreaks because response teams are
slow to mobilize and cholera can infect, transmit and kill in less than 20
hours. Our research challenge is to take an unconventional approach to develop
a new method using mobile technology to identify outbreak clusters early,
improve care, and advance our basic understanding of the disease. The specific
aims of this project are to (i) develop mobile technology for clinical decision
support and real-time epidemiology, (ii) test the mobile-technology and
determine microbial correlates to disease progression at the hospital level,
and (iii) test the mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to
disease progression at the community level. We chose to develop and test this
strategy in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Bangladesh at a site
with high cholera morbidity and relatively high mortality. We anticipate this
NIH funded research will provide an exciting cross-departmental forum for
collaboration and training, as well as a pathway to discovery that will
directly benefit populations inflicted with diseases like cholera.
